The 33-year-old has failed to feature this season, and joins Nigel Clough’s side from Derby

Brewers boss Nigel Clough will hope the former England international can use his experience and goal scoring prowess to help his side climb the table.

Clough said: “When you get the opportunity to sign a player who has gone for nearly £60million in transfer fees over the course of his career, with an excellent goal-scoring record and all the experience he has, then you know it will be a valuable addition to the squad.

“The experience Darren brings will also be a big help to the rest of the squad.”

Bent has scored 214 career goals in 535 senior appearances, including more than a century of Premier League strikes and won 13 caps for England at his peak.
